:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
I had the idea of making fire trucks, which are coming out, when a plane has a mayday situation. For example: At IAD, a plane is cleared to land, but suddenly, the engine caughts fire. Then the vehicles are coming out and stop the fire. The passengers will be transported by a bus away. The pushback truck will come and pull the plane in a hangar. The maintenance team come, inspects the runway and open it. Meanwhile, the plane is in the hangar (hangar is closed) and after [suggested time] it comes out and will be parked at the gate it was given to. If it’s occupied, it will come to another gate. But it will be very rare and with old planes (for example 3/8 contracts)

It’s a lot of work for the devs fo what for the majority of players would be an annoying addition, blocking the runway and preventing them from doing what they want to do which is land, handle and takeoff planes. The devs are already working at 100% capacity getting new models, airports and airlines into the game, this would involve a whole new set of animations for different vehicles and aircraft types not to mention the task of getting the aircraft to be repaired. I think if there were to be emergencies in-game, it would be a much better idea for medical emergencies which would require one or two new animations at the stand, a couple of vehicle models and maybe a priority landing system. I think this would be in the scope of a much larger, PC orientated game.

The devs have already mentioned that no real-life fire / or things that do with emergencies will come from the actual contracted planes because that would be hating and putting stuff against certain airlines and the main sponsors, Airbus and Boeing. I think the firetruck idea or emergency vehicle idea won’t happen because of what I previously stated. However, like maintenance hangers for your planes have been talked about through the forums.

Most agree with you but add a couple of static firetrucks(crashtenders) at where are real life firestations would be possible

I can understand that well

If you look at INN or some of the firestations at the airports there are firetrucks
